B12 Shot

The injection itself takes under a minute. Budget about 20 minutes for the visit: your nurse reviews your health screening, confirms there is nothing that would make the shot unsafe, gives the injection, and stays briefly afterward to make sure you feel well.

Most people describe a brief pinch and some pressure. Shots go into the deltoid or the outer thigh. Mild soreness at the site for a day afterward is normal and settles on its own.

An IV delivers a larger dose directly into the bloodstream over an hour or more. An intramuscular shot puts a smaller dose into muscle, where it absorbs over the following hours. The shot is faster and costs less; the drip delivers more and rehydrates you at the same time.

It depends on the injectable and on you. B12 is often taken weekly or monthly; others are less frequent. Your nurse will talk through a sensible interval, and lab work is the honest way to know whether you need a given vitamin at all.

Yes. Every shot is available as an add-on during any IV visit, and it costs less that way than a shot-only visit, because the nurse is already with you. It adds no meaningful time to the appointment.

Anyone with a known allergy to the ingredient, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should tell us before booking. Your nurse screens you at the visit and will not proceed if something on that screening says otherwise.

Your nurse will start with a brief health screening (vitals, medical history, and current medications) before setting up your IV. Most visits run 60 to 90 minutes, including a short observation period after your infusion finishes.

This package is generally well-suited for healthy adults. Certain conditions (including uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, or early pregnancy) may require your physician's clearance first. Your nurse will screen for these before starting treatment, and the visit will be adjusted or rescheduled if needed.
